What should a Schaumburg driver check before booking a tint shop?

Three things: where the car will be tinted, what the film starts at, and how many drivers have rated the shop. When this page was written, none of the Schaumburg shop pages on the first page of results showed a starting price or a review count. Tint Starz shows all three below.

An address. Tint Starz is at 837 Oakton St Unit C, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007, open by appointment Monday to Saturday from 9 to 6 and closed Sunday. Javi and Tony own Tint Starz, and one of them tints every car. They are its two full-time installers, and the work happens inside that studio.

Starting prices. S5 ceramic starts at $250 on a coupe and S9 at $350. The next section has the sedan and SUV numbers.

A review count. Drivers rate the shop 5.0 on Google across 82 reviews, and you can read them on the reviews page before you book.

How much is window tint for Schaumburg drivers?

Your car’s size and the film you choose decide the price. On a sedan, all-around tint starts at $240 in Carbon, $330 in S5 ceramic and $400 in S9. On an SUV or truck, S5 starts at $400. All-around means every side window plus the rear glass; the windshield is separate.

The window tint prices page breaks every starting price out by vehicle class and film. For the exact figure on your car, call with the year, make and model, or send the quote form and the shop calls you back with a price within minutes while it is open.

S5 or S9 for a car parked outside all day?

If infrared rejection is what you are buying, S9: Rayno, which makes both ceramics, rates it 91 to 93 percent in the shades it publishes, against 53 to 72 percent for S5. Both block 99.9 percent of UV, and S5 still suits a lighter budget; the warranty is 2 years on S5 against lifetime on S9.

How dark the glass looks is a different decision. S5 comes in six shades and S9 in seven, and the tint shades page sets them side by side. Illinois ties the front side windows to whatever is on the rear, so pick both shades at the same time. The window tint page covers all three films in full.

How do you book from Schaumburg?

Call to book. A $50 deposit holds your appointment and comes off your total, and you can move it once for free with 24 hours notice. Film only goes on in the Oakton St bay, not at your curb. Detailing is different: the mobile detailing van covers Schaumburg.
